  • Robert Melillo

    The way this guy was talking, overconfident in his own theories as though they are established facts, and relying only on his own “research”, set off pseudoscience scam artist alarm bells for me, and I looked him up, and sure enough, there are reviews from former employees and patients who say he is scamming people, and an NPR investigation was done a while back. I think the podcast host should be more skeptical and scientific, as a psychologist.

    I always sensed boys learned in a different way. I loved the scientific evidence to help parents and teachers better help boys learn and thrive.

  • Informative Show but Uneven Volume

    I’ve definitely learned a few things about parenting listening to this show. It’s well narrated and the show has good guests. My only annoyance is that somehow the main portion of the show is quite faint such that I have to max out the volume, then the ads explode in my ear.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Your Child Isn’t Lazy: The ADHD Struggle Parents Often Misunderstand, Episode #176
Q: How should parents think about rewards for teens with ADHD?
Rewards should be used cautiously and framed as healthy, time-limited incentives that support engagement without conditioning long-term dependence on external prizes.
Raising Anti-Racist Children Starts Earlier Than Most Parents Realize, Episode #177
Q: What practical steps can families take to promote anti-racist thinking without making conversations political?
Engage in ongoing, age-appropriate discussions about differences, provide books and questions that spark curiosity, practice advocacy roles through role-plays, and connect classroom learning with real-life incidents to reinforce understanding and action.
How to Help an Anxious Child Face Their Fears Without Making Anxiety Worse with Poppy 'O Neil, Episode #174
Q: What is bravery, and how can parents encourage it in a way that's realistic for anxious kids?
Bravery is feeling the fear and choosing to act anyway; the motivation to engage should be bigger than the worry, and parents should model brave behavior and celebrate small steps rather than expecting perfection.
How to Help an Anxious Child Face Their Fears Without Making Anxiety Worse with Poppy 'O Neil, Episode #174
Q: So, hi Tammy and Tanya. My nine-year-old daughter has started avoiding social situations. How do I help her grow her bravery without pushing too hard?
Begin with calming the body through breath and movement, validate the feeling, and then gradually scaffold exposure with practical steps like going to a family party or small social interactions, using a balloon metaphor to keep bravery at a manageable level, and ensuring a safe adult is present to support them.
Why the Moms Who Love Their Children the Most Often Hurt the Most with Rebecca Geshuri, Episode 171
Q: If we've got parents listening and they're trying to figure out this whole manager versus firefighter dynamic, what do we do with those parts?
